    I don't know much about value but Ricks book says 1 in 20 are the pointed variety.
    I'll bet the coin looks much better than the image.

    Here are the full slab pics. It looks very lustrous and very gold in color. $(KGrHqJ,!ooFIwMkuZ1iBSPGdc8TbQ~~60_57.JPG $T2eC16F,!zoE9s5nc3O!BSPGdh4EWg~~60_57.JPG

    Here are some better pics. The coin arrived today and the obverse looks proof-like. The obverse toning is great, mostly a pink/rose color. You can still see die-polishing lines above the top feathers. The reverse is as deep of a gold color as I have ever seen on a CN indian head cent. It almost looks like RB bronze.
